commissioner, you just heard senator feinstein. do you think-- is this the right way to approach this? is banning assault weapons where you start banning these magazines that hold more than, say, 10 rounds? or do you see it in a different way there in new york? >> well, i commend the senator. i i think it's certainly a move in the right direction. i agree with it. as the senator said, it's probably a heavy lift in congress, but for us in new york city. >> and believe in most urban centers of america, the problem really is concealable handguns. only 2% of the people that we've arrested for guns in the last two years have had assault weapons. we don't want them on the streets. make no mistake about it, but the problem is the handgun. 60% of the murders in new york city are caused by handguns. and we simply have too many of them. even though last year, we had a record low in murders in new york city, and a record low in shootings, it's still way too many. >> schieffer: if you had a wish list of what you would like the congress to do,
